OpenAI has closed a record-shattering $110 billion funding round led by Amazon, Nvidia and Softbank, catapulting the artificial intelligence (AI) company to an $840 billion post-money valuation and deepening its alliances with some of the world’s largest tech players.
OpenAI’s $110 Billion Power MoveAmazon is committing $50 billion, structured with an initial tranche and additional funding tied to specific milestones. Nvidia and Softbank are each investing $30 billion. Other investors were also reported to have taken part in the latest round.
The latest capital injected into OpenAI will largely support infrastructure expansion, including compute capacity needed to train and deploy increasingly complex models. OpenAI said it plans to deepen its relationship with Amazon Web Services (AWS), which will serve as the exclusive third-party cloud provider for its Frontier platform.
The funding comes amid intensifying competition from AI rivals such as Anthropic, Google, Perplexity, and xAI. It also follows OpenAI’s $40 billion raise in March 2025 at a $300 billion valuation. The pace of capital inflows illustrates how quickly AI development has scaled from research labs to global infrastructure.
OpenAI said the fresh funds will support product reliability, enterprise deployment and research toward artificial general intelligence, or AGI. The company’s revenue has grown rapidly in recent years, though questions remain about profitability and long-term cash burn as compute demands expand.
For now, the message from investors is clear: the AI arms race is not slowing down, and OpenAI remains one of its central players.
